INK'D FOR GOOD COUNTDOWN
ABOUT THE EVENT
Ink’d for Good is an annual, virtual fundraiser organized by two Portland-based nonprofits, PDX Diaper Bank and Baby Blues Connection. Due to the generosity of philanthropic tattoo artists who pledge to volunteer their time, 100% of sales go directly to support children and families in need.
ABOUT THE NONPROFITS
PDX Diaper Bank
PDX Diaper Bank provides no cost diapers and diapering supplies to low-income and houseless families in collaboration with partner agencies. The organization was founded on the belief that everyone deserves access to necessary diapering supplies in order to promote health, wellness, and productivity.
Diapers are not a luxury, but a basic health necessity. With so many Oregon families living in poverty, and no government programs in place to support their diapering needs, purchasing diapers is an unbearable expense for many caregivers. 1 in 2 families are negatively impacted by #DiaperNeed, and our nation’s poorest families spend up to 14% of their annual income on diapers alone!
Reliable access to clean diapers not only supports community health, but also provides opportunities for education, job placement/security, stable housing, and more.
Baby Blues Connection
Baby Blues Connection supports parents and their families coping with pregnancy and postpartum mood disorders, with information, resources, and community; and connect and support the volunteers, staff and professionals who serve them.
Over of 15% of pregnant and postpartum women will experience some form of depression, anxiety, feelings of isolation or hopelessness. If symptoms are present in the mother, the partner has a 50% chance of experiencing symptoms. Left unchecked, depression and anxiety in either parent can affect the parent-to-child bond, potentially causing developmental issues.
We provide free phone, email, in-person and online support for mothers and fathers across the metro area. One does not need a diagnosis to receive support from us.
